Sunset Hike
The Wonders of Wetlands at Dusk
Join us for an enchanting evening hike at Oak Road Nature Preserve as we explore the world of frogs and waterfowl at sunset. Guided by knowledgeable leaders, you’ll walk about one mile through open grasslands to a vernal pond (temporary springtime pond), where the sounds and activity of nature come alive. Along the way, you’ll learn about frog life cycles and calls and the behaviors and ecological roles of waterfowl. You’ll have opportunities to observe frogs, ducks, geese, and other waterbirds settling in for the evening. This relaxed, interactive experience invites curiosity, conversation, and appreciation of the preserve’s natural beauty.

About This Preserve
Oak Road Nature Preserve
This 155-acre preserve in a picturesque Carlsville valley protects an extensive vernal wetland so alive with spring peepers that neighbors can't sleep — plus an ongoing restoration of 100+ acres of former farmland to oak woodland and native prairie.
